Knoxville, Tenn., April 11. Never
In the history of Knoxville haa the
city suffered such a loss by Are as it
did today, following the breaking out
ot the flames at au early hour this
morning in a grocery store adjoining
the big Knot hotel. The hotel and ad-
Joining buildings were soon in flames,
and the Very heart ot the oitv. inclnd
ing some of the largest wholesale and
retail business houses in the South, de
stroyed. The loss is estimated at from
1,000,000 to fl.500,000, with about
60 per cent of insurance. .
The loss of life is uncertain, as tl
register of the hotel, in which 56 peo
ple were sleeping, was burned. The
proprietor ot the hptel says he had five
or six guests who nave not put in an
appearance. A. b. Weeks, of Locke,

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT,
Attract Condition of the Wheat Crop
Below Last Year's. y.
Washington, April 18. The report
ot the department of agriculture tor
April makes the average condition ot
winter wheat 81.4, against 99.5 on
December 1, 77.1 last April and 80.5
at the same date in 1895. Leading
winter wneat state show as follows:
Pennsylvania, 98; Ohio, 88; Miehi
gan, 85; Indiana, 65; Illinois, 40; Mis
souri, 60; Kansas, 80; California, 99.
The average rye condition was 88.9,
against 82.9 last year.
The condition of the soil at the time
ot seeding was generally favorable
throughout the country, a few scattered
counties reporting it too dry or too wet,
so that by December 1 a orop nearly up
to the standard was Indicated. The
falling off since December was greatest
in Illinois, but was strongly shown in
every neighboring state. The average
of 18 per cent for the whole country is
due to the sharp freeses of early winter.
Snow covering was ample in the Rocky
mountains states and westward, but
elsewhere to the East it was scanty,
There was little damage along the At'
lantio slope, where the winter was mild
and the favorable indications continue,
no important wheat state showing 1
condition under 95.
The condition of winter wheat is re
ported below the average in Great Bri
tain, France and Holland, because of
excessive rains, but favorable in Central
and Eastern Europe. In Southern
Knssia there has been extensive re
sowing, but the wet weather has so de
layed field work in Western Eurojie
that the spring wheat area will be
greatly out down, the shortage in
France alone being 730,000 pounds.

Steamer Yaquina With a Let of Dyna
mite, oa a Sandbar.
Hueneme, Ca!., April 18. The
steamer Taquina, in approaching the
wharf here at 10 o'clock today, struck
a sandbar, opening her seams. . She be
gan filling, and immediately settled,
with only her deck above water. A
line was run ashore and efforts made to
beach her, but so far she has only been
hauled in a short distance.
The Yaquina is loaded with 200 tons
of miscellaneous freight, including ten
tons of dynamite for Los Angeles. The
weather is fine, but fears are felt that,
should the weather become at all bad,
the pounding of the ship may explode
the dynamite.
At 9 P. M. the Yaquina was lying in
about ten feet of water, on an almost
even keel, about sixty feet west of the
wharf, and 800 feet from shore." The
wind from the west is freshening. At
high tide and with more wind she is
very apt to crash into the wharf. Some
thirty tons of freight have been landed.
but the work has now ceased, awaiting
the arrival ot the Bonita in the morn

Cripple Creek, Cola, April 13. A
shooting affray occurred this morning
at McElroy'a hall, in Altman, Colo.,
in which Jack Cox instantly killed
Bob Dailey and wounded Harry Minor
and Sam Losbey, and was then shot
fatally. After killing Daily, Cox ran
into the street, where he met Town
Marshal O'Brien, at whom he fired.
The maahal returned the fire, shooting
Cox, who now lies at the hospital in a
dying condition. Tlu shooting grew
out of a quarrel. The men had been
gambling and drinking all night. Cox
is a convict pardoned from the peniten
tiary by Governor Waite. This is the
first murder in the state since the leg
islature passed the law abolishing cap

Senator Voorheee Dead.
Washington, April 13. Daniel
Wolsey Voorhees, ex-TJnited States
senator from the state of Indiana, died
at 5 o'clock this morning at his home
m this city.
The senator had been in bad health
for several years, and for the two years
past had taken little part in the pro
ceedings in the senate. He has been a
constant sufferer from rheumatism of
the heart, and his friends, therefore,
had come to expect that they might
hear of his death suddenly. The last
reports of him, however, were that he
was showing some signs of improve
ment, and his death, therefore, while
not entirely unexpected, caused a
shock.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins Company's Rtvlew
, . of Trade.
Buyers of wheat have been tlaughter
ed this week and many holders have
loosened their grip on hitherto well
held lines, believing as they did, in
the many orop reports telling of damage
111 the Southwest, and more particularly
in etoites from Indiana and bnstern
Missouri. Their fnith appears to have
been miuuUoed. They received no at
siNtance from the general public, ami
people who are chronic sellers saw the
opportunity and persistently longni
the campaign, and their efforts hav
met with success. The result has been
a severe liquidation of the previously
existing speculative interests, and there.
cun but be little doubt that the mar
kot at the close of the week is mor
nearly evened up than at any time in
several years past. Wheat has laokeil
a good casIi demand for some time, and
without it there is only the conclusion
to be drawn that value should decline
The fact that red wheat commauds a
high premium has not had the slight
est effect in preventing or even staying
the depression that set in early in the
week and which caused a loss ot 0 cents
in the future deliveries and a prowr
tionate break in the cash grades. A
ureal ninny inclined to the belief that
the break was due to manipulation and
not from legitimate causes. This theory
is rather doubtful and can be qties
tioned. The market is always more or
lesssubject to manipulation, but to the
extent of the decline that has oocurrei
this week does not seem probable. We
are of the opinion that the current
weakness is due to disappointment with
the rate of flour consumption, which
is smaller than had been expected, and
with the larger arrivals than had been
looked for, and, although the public is
suffering this disappointment, it has no
need to despair, for, at the slow rate of
current consumption, the world ends
the crop season lower in supply than in
any season before since the price was 60
cents a bushel for an average of a sea
son. For various reasons it is apparent
that the present price is to be tempor
ary only.

Gladness Comes

transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to s constipated condi
tion ot the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Kyrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, snd Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that It is the
one remedy which promote, internal
cleanliness witnout ueointoiiiig tn.

all important, in order to get Its bene'
hclal effects, to note when yon pur

NEILL OF ARKANSAS.
Another U. S. Congressman Indorse;
Poine's Celery Compound.
I WW's .
Within the past year, among the
thousands of hearty testimonials to the
wonderful ourative powers of Paine',
celery pomtind that have been re -
ccived by Wells, Richardson & m-
pany among the thousands of grateful
letters received from every state snd
town in the ronntry, there have come
no loss than six hearty linltiriM'ineiits
from members ot the national house ot
representatives.
All were willing that their export
ene should be published, believing
rightly that they might thus do good to
others.
In these columns have slreaily been
published, the letters received from
Congressmen Meredith, Bell, Grout and
Powers. Now comes a letter from
Congressman Robert Nelll of Arkan
sas, as follows;
My home is st Batesville, Ark.
During the last spring snd summer my
eldest daughter, then 17 years of age,
was in very poor health, suffering from
general debility, nervous prostration
and frequent slight fevers, fthe had
the best medical attention, but ap
parently with little benefit. In the
latter part of September last, while
still feeble she began the use of Pitino't
celery compound, snd improved iu
health continuously. In three month,
she had fully recovered, snd is now In
perfect health. I am bound to think
"Sty general health It a good denl hatter Ihnn before using the Rett.
M eyes nre brighter nnd have a moeh better luster than before. Move gained
about four povnds, nnd am more cheerful nnd In better hnutot thnn I nut
before. By nalng your Melt nnother mouth or two I hope to be enred entirely."

J To postpone at such s vital time as
this regulating the nerves snd purify-
lug the blood is a serious mistake,
Men and women distressed by nervous
troubles or the effects of impure, blood
cannot afford now to loss a day before
taking advantage ol Palne's celerv
compound.
Iu order to avoid disappointment sc
cept nothing but Paine's celery rem
pound, A olerk who tries to sell some
thing elso than what people ask for is
evidently not disinterested. He has an
eye to profits more than to the good ot
customers.
There can be no substUule for Value's

This has been shown time snd tlmt

The strongest Indorsement ever re

and no remedy ever compared with
Palne's celery compound in lh char
acter and the number of the witnesses
to its efllclency the strongnst Indorse
